Can it help migrate legacy socket code?

Absolutely. It includes a dedicated migration guide for moving from BSD sockets, CFSocket, and SCNetworkReachability to the modern Network.framework.

Does this skill support the latest iOS networking features?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for structured concurrency (async/await), TLV framing, and the Coder protocol available in recent iOS versions.

How does it help with network reliability?

It provides standardized patterns for state monitoring, viability checks, and exponential backoff retry logic to gracefully handle WiFi to cellular transitions.

When should I use Network.framework instead of URLSession?

Use Network.framework for low-level protocol control, UDP, peer-to-peer connectivity, or custom TCP/TLS streams. URLSession remains the better choice for standard HTTP/HTTPS requests and WebSockets.

Mobile Development

Implements and optimizes high-performance TCP, UDP, and QUIC connections using Apple's Network.framework for robust iOS applications.

Acerca de

Swift Network Engineering is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to streamline the implementation of Apple's modern Network.framework APIs. It provides expert guidance on creating NWConnection and NetworkConnection instances, handling complex state transitions, and migrating from legacy BSD sockets or URLSession streams. By enforcing best practices like structured concurrency and proper queue management, this skill helps developers build resilient, mobile-ready networking layers that gracefully handle connectivity transitions and protocol-level optimizations.
